Falconry in Australia

G'day Ausbirders,
Received this message yesterday from UKbirdnet and wonder if anyone has
an answer?
Please feel free to send messages to the whole list or to Lawrie
directly, I can pass them on if required.
Regards,

I've recently read that Falconry is banned in Australia, does anyone
know the rationale behind this.
